Is this perhaps the best value Ryzen processor available on the market? We test and benchmark the six-core Ryzen 5 1600 (without the X). The 1600 will be tested and overclocked to see how much value you can squeeze out of this six-core and twelve threaded processor.

It is not roses, roses though, as Fudzilla has learned that Vega has experienced some delays and issues, and we are working to get a few more details. AMD has committed to ship the Vega first HBM 2 GPU before the end of the second quarter, but even if this happens, the numbers will be limited and its performance might not be as great as the fanboys expected. From what we know, Vega won't be able to beat the Geforce GTX 1080 Ti or Titan.

The Asus ROG Strix GL502VS sits towards the top end of the performance and price scale. It doesn't have any ludicrous dual-GPU setups inside, but its GeForce GTX 1070 discrete graphics chip offers better performance than your typical gaming laptop. It packs a 15.6-inch 1080p G-Sync display and a range of other solid hardware in a relatively portable form factor.

Biostar's Z270GT8, is more than just a full-sized version of the Z270GT4 which we looked at earlier. It includes everything the Z270GT4 board did, but adds in Intel Optane functionality and a few other things. The Biostar Z270GT8 is a big departure from past Biostar products, and this isn't your everyday entry-level board.

When it comes to companies that in general do nothing but make exceptional products, Cherry, known mostly for their mechanical key switches, resides permanently towards the top of that list. While they have made full keyboards since 1967 their prowess has been in the manufacture of the world’s best mechanical switches. Recent times have seen the company make a push to inject themselves back into the complete keyboard market, mostly targeting business professionals. While normally ThinkComputers is all about gaming and computer hardware we couldn’t help ourselves when we saw the board that we will be taking a look at today. That deck is the MX Board Silent (G80-3000). It’s an entirely modern mechanical keyboard internally and a completely oldschool IBM esque deck on the outside. And that’s not all, while the board is fully mechanical it also claims to be fully silent thanks to Cherry’s brand new MX Silent switches. Follow along as we find out if this board can bring you back that Commodore 64 feeling while still crushing along at 75 words per minute.

We’re in the middle of a transition from the DDR3 memory standard that has served us well for a decade to the new DDR4 standard. With higher bandwidth at lower voltage, DDR4 seems a perfect match for our compute-intensive multi-core CPU world. In this article Benchmark Reviews examines Crucial’s Ballistix Elite DDR4 enthusiast memory, which runs at an eye-watering 3466Mhz. We’ll test it against “standard” DDR4 to see what difference this extra performance makes.

It's the turn of one of the most respected partners. The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti's only real competition right now is, wait for it, the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. If your pockets are deep enough, and by deep we mean having at least £650 spare change, there is an abundance of choice from all partners.

We've seen five interpretations come through the labs and one that is conspicuous by its absence is EVGA, who has been an Nvidia stalwart for over 15 years.

There are seven cards in the EVGA GTX 1080 Ti arsenal, ranging from $699 to $809 for an all-singing watercooled version. Slap bang in the middle is the SC2 Gaming featuring in-house-developed iCX Technology.

Today we look at the MSI GT62VR 7RE Dominator Pro which features an Ultra HD 4k panel, Core i7 7820HK processor, 512GB SSD and 8GB Nvidia GTX 1070 graphics. We know the GTX 1070 will struggle to get playable frame rates at 4k resolution, but is the UHD panel worth having for media and design demands?

Roccat’s Kone series of mice has a strong reputation that stretches back years. Today we are looking at the new Kone EMP, a mouse that is actually the successor to 2012’s Kone XTD. Sporting fancy LED strips, an Owl Eye 12K DPI sensor plus Roccat’s ever-present Swarm software, how does the EMP fare in 2017?
